The Constitution does not dictate this policy, not even under the Supreme Court\u2019s recent erroneous, gun-friendly Second Amendment rulings. As Justice Robert Jackson famously <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/\/supreme.findlaw.com\/legal-commentary\/the-clich-that-the-constitution-is-not-a-suicide-pact.html__;!!BspMT6SJLSDJ!PApXJ9Dj2qNn6QSAq1GuxVO2k0e5IbSRnOwMKq-_-T1hYWTPjbZpuySaGIU3aY1k9zv5m_IgBn3ZcMuIGHCC$\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in 1949, the Constitution is not a \u201csuicide pact\u201d; the court has consistently constrained the exercise of all other rights when public safety is threatened. It\u2019s high time to constrain gun rights the same way.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve beavered away for over a year, but it seems they\u2019ve finally come up with a new approach. The ploy here is that there\u2019s an even higher court than the U.S. Supreme Court they can appeal to. The American gun control industry \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/brady-campaign-operatives-register-as-a-foreign-agent-to-help-mexico-sue-us-gun-manufacturers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathan Lowy in particular<\/a> \u2014 has been exploring more international efforts recently such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/mexican-government-is-suing-glock-beretta-barrett-sw-and-colt-over-arms-crossing-the-border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failed attempt<\/a> by Mexico to sue U.S. gun makers.<\/p>\n<p>That sounds credible (allegedly) because there really are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/jmd\/ls\/international-courts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international courts<\/a> and they really can compel national governments to do things. There\u2019s the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice (aka the \u201cWorld Court\u201d), and a Permanent Court of Arbitration. These courts have put people in prison, told individual countries what to do inside their own borders, and more. There are also regional courts, like the European Court of Human Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these courts are even run by organizations that the United States is a part of. The <em>Boston Globe<\/em> article describes an effort to get the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to declare a lack of gun control a violation of the human right to live. This court is part of the Organization of American States (OAS), and the U.S. is a member of the OAS, so it\u2019s a slam dunk, right?<\/p>\n<p>Like other international courts, this one isn\u2019t controlled by United States law, isn\u2019t limited by the restrictions of our Constitution, and isn\u2019t accountable to American voters, even indirectly. So, it\u2019s the perfect place to force America to enact the gun control laws the civilian disarmament types have failed to achieve through the legislative process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why This is Utter BS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s just one thing standing in their way: the fact that none of these international courts have any jurisdiction at all over domestic laws in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the United States is a member of the UN, the OAS, and other international bodies that run some of these courts, but for the courts to exercise any power in a particular country, that country has to sign and ratify a treaty giving each court that kind of power.<\/p>\n<p>Looking specifically at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/jmd\/ls\/international-courts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the OAS<\/a>, it started as an anti-communist league of countries in the Americas. In those days, South American and Caribbean countries largely aligned with the United States against the Soviet Union, and received certain assurances from the U.S in return. But, the U.S. never agreed to give the OAS the power to dictate US domestic law, because American leadership wisely foresaw that the OAS could one day be used against us in cases very much like this.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_542977\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-542977\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542977 size-full\" alt=\"UN blue helmets \" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-560x373.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-scaled.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542977 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"UN blue helmets \" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstock_1480713869-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-542977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So no, the court in question can\u2019t force gun control restrictions on us and then send in the blue helmets in to enforce it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Really Frightens These Anti-Gun Groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I totally get it. Telling these people online that we\u2019ll shoot anyone they send in to take our guns is fun. Some of <a href=\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVYfzhwpg9nSDEZyD2m3UvHkgsnWs8v7hKEwc4xK25jFA\/28166351_1734050549951585_7320129326780953901_n.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the memes<\/a> are pretty hilarious.

They know the blue helmets aren\u2019t coming.<\/p>\n<p>What <em>really<\/em> frightens the anti-gun groups is that their members and donors might find out that it\u2019s all just a scam. If that happens, it could affect their funding and \u2014 <em\/><em>GASP<\/em> \u2014 their jobs. So, be sure to spend at least part of your online time cluing them in. Let the people cheering this nonsense on know that it\u2019s all just a steaming pile of BS, and that there\u2019s no international court anywhere that can impose the kind of gun control they\u2019ve fought so long and failed so hard for.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gun-control-advocates-use-phony-international-lawsuit-to-boost-fundraising-keep-themselves-employed\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6 On Friday, an anti-gun group caught the attention of the Firearms Policy Coalition with an interesting proposition: an \u201cinternational lawsuit\u201d that could compel the Untied States to adopt harsh gun control measures.
